Hog roast for events in Haverstock, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast fits a village fête perfectly: the smell draws people over, and a roll is easy to eat on the move. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, a vegan burger or sausage and halloumi skewers, and we are regularly asked to cater country shows and tournaments and sports days.
In Haverstock, community events include street parties, school fairs and markets. Organisers usually need council permission for public spaces, and we need a pitch we can reach. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.

Planners, venues and businesses
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Make the stall easy to find
If the ground is soft, we’ll need a firm route on and off, particularly in wet weather.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.

Where the roaster can go in Haverstock
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A vehicle route onto the pitch
- A safe distance from other traders
- The landowner’s or council’s agreement
As a London location, Haverstock is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Haverstock: your questions answered
Do you trade at school fairs around Haverstock?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
Can you do a hog roast in Primrose Hill?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What will our event need from you?
Organisers frequently ask for a risk assessment or gas safety details. Share your list and we will respond.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will talk it through when we quote.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
